Answer:
The two planes have traveled the same distance.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Velocity of first plane traveling north = 100 km/h
Time taken by the plane = 2.5 hours
Velocity of second plane traveling north = 62.5 km/h
Time taken by the plane = 4 hours
To find:
Which plane traveled longer distance?
Solution:
First of all, let us have a look at the formula for finding the distance using velocity and time.
Formula is:
[tex]Distance = Velocity \times Time[/tex]
Distance traveled by first plane:
[tex]Distance_1 = 100\times 2.5\\\Rightarrow Distance_1 = 250 \ km[/tex]
Distance traveled by second plane:
[tex]Distance_2 = 62.5\times 4\\\Rightarrow Distance_2 = 250 \ km[/tex]
Here, we can clearly see that:
[tex]Distance _1 = Distance _2[/tex]
Therefore, the two planes have traveled the same distance.
